I WAS appalled recently reading about the repairs fund unused by RCH and then driving past the former accommodation for the nursing college on the grounds of the IRH.

We have a housing shortage, surely these accommodation units could be brought into use again for much less than a rebuild?

I appreciate that they are probably owned by the health board.

There could be a change of ownership and much needed housing stock for those needing housed.

They are currently fenced off now, but could still be refurbished.
